AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library has partnered with the Camden Conference to present a series of programs to foster discussion on the 31st Camden Conference topic of “New World Disorder and America’s Future.” The first program will take place at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, with an afternoon showing of the film “Dirty Wars.”

“Dirty Wars” follows investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill, author of international bestseller “Blackwater,” into the heart of America’s covert wars, from Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond. What begins as a report into a U.S. raid gone wrong turns into a global investigation of the secretive and powerful Joint Special Operations Command who kill selected targets, including U.S. citizens.

More information will be available soon on additional programs between the Camden Conference and the Auburn Public Library. Thanks to funds from the Camden Conference, the library has purchased several new books on the topic of global power.

The 2018 Camden Conference will specifically explore shifts in global power and the implications for major players — especially the United States, China and European countries — in pursuing their national interests.
